Ex-Palmeiras keeper: “I want to see Flamengo hard done by” | OneFootball

Velloso Featured in Premature 'Crying' on Neto's Show 'Os Donos da Bola'

The possibility of the final venue between Flamengo and Palmeiras in the Libertadores moving from Lima, Peru, sparked a heated debate on 'Os Donos da Bola' this Monday (03). On the Band program, former Palmeiras goalkeeper Wagner Velloso accused the Rubro-Negro of trying to move the game to Brasília, the 'second home' of the Most Beloved, according to the commentator.

— Because I think that Flamengo is trying to make this move (to take the Libertadores final to Brasília). Flamengo is pressuring the CBF to bring the game to the 'second home' of Flamengo. Do you want to play in Brasília? That would be the last straw -, shouted Velloso.

How Would This Benefit Flamengo, Velloso?

The opinion of the former goalkeeper even surprised the Corinthians fan Neto. Then, Velloso explained that the media and refereeing would favor Flamengo. This is because, according to the Palmeiras idol, the Rubro-Negro always pressures these two elements even when they win.

— Flamengo complained about the game where they were harmed, where there was no penalty that was awarded, the game against Botafogo. The game was 3-0 for Flamengo. Now they are talking about the expulsion and it was 3-0 against Sport -, stated the Palmeiras fan to add that:

— So these are Flamengo's complaints. In my view, they won 3-0 and there is no reason to complain. I want to see Flamengo being harmed and losing points in the championship, and you will see what will happen -, highlighted Velloso.

Didn't Anyone Refute Velloso?

Neto disagreed with Velloso, asked if the former goalkeeper was crazy, and reminded him that Palmeiras had already won a Super Cup against Flamengo in Brasília. Without arguments, the idol of the green-and-white team went back to complaining about the refereeing.

Thus, the São Paulo idol Souza stated that if there is a team without reasons to complain about refereeing, it is Palmeiras. Nervous, the former goalkeeper stated that Flamengo is favored because it is politically stronger than the Allianz Parque club.

Is Flamengo Stronger Than Palmeiras?

The President of Palmeiras, Leila Pereira, is part of a FIFA committee. The leader is accompanied even by the president of the CBF, Samir Xaud. Furthermore, the son of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) minister Gilmar Mendes is in the group.

Will the Libertadores Final Change Venue?

According to an investigation by Coluna do Fla, Conmebol is not considering moving the final from Lima. On October 31, the president of the entity even reinforced the Monumental of Lima as the venue.

When Will the Flamengo vs. Palmeiras Final Be?

So, with Velloso's premature crying, Flamengo faces Palmeiras on November 29, in Lima, Peru. The entity has not yet set a time, but the tendency is for it to take place from 4 PM (Brasília time).
